In the early morning of May 18, Beijing time, at the Brazilian station of the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 1-3 to the Canadian team and suffered its first defeat in the World League, with the scores of 22-25, 25-20, 23-25 and 22-25 in four games.

In this game, Li Yingying scored 24 points and the highest in the team, Gong Xiangyu 15 points, Wu Mengjie 12 points, Wang Yuanyuan 9 points, Yuan Xinyue 7 points, Diao Linyu 2 points, Zhang Changning 2 points, Zheng Yixin 2 points.

The Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 in the first game of the Brazilian station, but because the opponent's world ranking was too low, the Chinese women's volleyball team got less than one point, only 0.93 points. In the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball team reversed the United States 3-1 and scored 9.13 points. After losing to the Canadian women's volleyball team this time, the Chinese women's volleyball team was deducted 11.02 points, which was overtaken by the Italian team and fell to 7th.

Behind the Chinese women's volleyball team is the Japanese women's volleyball team. In the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League Turkey Station, the Japanese women's volleyball team defeated the German team with a score of 3-0, winning three consecutive victories in this World League, and has greatly narrowed the gap with the Chinese women's volleyball team.

According to the Paris Olympic Volleyball Qualification Scheme, 12 teams from each of the men's and women's volleyball teams will qualify, with six teams going through the Olympic Qualification Tournament in addition to the host country, France, and the other five places being determined by the world rankings. At present, eight teams from France, Turkey, Serbia, Poland, the United States, Dominica, Brazil and Kenya have qualified for the Olympic Games, which means that there are only four places left to qualify for the Olympic Games.

The Chinese women's volleyball team wants to qualify for the Olympics There are two ways, one is to suppress the Japanese team in the ranking to become the first in Asia, and the other is if the Japanese team ranks higher than us, then the Chinese women's volleyball team must become the top three teams that have not yet qualified for the Olympics.

Now after three rounds of the World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team temporarily ranks second among the teams that have not yet qualified for the Olympics.

In the next game, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against the Serbian team at 1 a.m. Beijing time on May 19.
